3. Are we ready? The class of 2009 is projected to be the largest class to graduate from high school in U.S. history. The population of 18 – to 24- year olds will rise 9% over the next 10 years, increasing to over 30 million. The projected number of high school graduates will increase nearly 10% in the next 10 years, rising to over 3 million Between 1995 and 2015, 20% more students are projected to enroll in U.S. colleges and universities, reaching 16 million. Students of color will represent 80% of the increase in college-aged students between 1995 and 2015. From: Noel-Levitz: “Enrollment Strategies That Work in Attracting and Retaining Students

4. Current Challenges Declining State and Federal Budgets Competitive Educational Environment Changing Demographics Fewer Financial Aid Resources for Students Recruiting & Retaining Qualified Faculty Facility Resources are limited Rising Costs to Provide Student and Academic Support Services

5. Where to start……? “Who” are the students we ultimately want? “Where” are they? “What” is it that they expect/desire? “When” do they want it? “How” do they want it delivered? “Why” do they want it? Begin with the end in mind….. S. Covey
